‘Water For Elephants’ soundtrack listing revealed!

This is SO exciting because Ruth Etting is mentioned as a favorite of Marlena’s! I love that we’re going to have a soundtrack with fantastic, authentic music of the late 20s/early 30s. We can also see that Jacob will in fact speak some polish to Rosie. Check out the YouTube of the Ruth Etting and Bessie Smith numbers and imagine Marlena singing along in her dressing room.

I really hope there won’t be so many language mistakes in Rob speaking polish. I am Polish and it’s always very uncomfortable to hear when they say it’s their native language and then they just can’t say anything correctly. For example the “Proszę, Rosie, dac nogę” – there should be “daj”. It’s something like “give” and “gave”. I really really hope someone felt like write the lines ok in the script. Well, who cares, I am SO excited to hear Rob speaking polish, his accent is more than fine! And the score is going to be EPIC.
Ruth Etting!!!! <3

Zuza, people who don’t know Polish might misinterpret your “It’s something like “give” and “gave” – as it represents “give = daj” in a present tense sentence and “gave = dal or dala” in the past tense. I know what you mean; however, I think it would be easier for a non-Polish person to understand that it is something like a difference between “to give” and “give” (“dac” and “daj”).
I am also like you so excited for this movie to come out and I just can’t wait to see Rob as Jakub Jankowski! Take Care! Z cieplymi pozdrowieniami, Grazyna

I am Polish, too, and it worries me when I see on the soundtrack “Prosze, Rosie, dac noge” instead of “Prosze, Rosie, daj noge”. (It is like “Please, Rosie, to give a leg” instead of “Please, Rosie, give a leg”). It makes me very concerned what Polish language coach the film production hired. I know Rob is capable of saying anything “just right” in any language – but he needs to know how to say it from a good coach. The question is – did the movie hire a good language coach? It annoyed me also a lot that even in the book there were bad translations of sentences into Polish. Somebody should do a better job with that. I will go to see a movie with a hope that at least in the movie Polish will be good. We will see.

Tried commenting twice yesterday and both times they went into a black hole! *crossing fingers it works now*

Those are great songs! Yet another great thing to look forward too. When the first one was playing I immediately thought about Charlie Chaplin. #era I’ve noted the others to try and find them on YouTube.
